easier cleaning.

2. To separate the door from the air fryer, push the door as far down as it will go (about

70 degrees), then push the grooved latch on the right-hand side of the hinge

horizontally to release the door. Once the door has been released, pull it downward

to separate it from the body of the fryer.

3. To reinstall the door, align the edges of the door with the holes on either side of the

hinge, and insert it as shown in the images below.

Automatic Switch Off:

The Tower Air Fryer has a built in timer, which will automatically shut off the air fryer when

the timer reaches zero. You can manually switch off the air fryer by pressing the key

until the timer reaches zero.

Preparing For Use:

1. Place the appliance on a stable, horizontal and even surface. Do not place the

appliance onto a non-heat-resistant surface.

2. Pull the cord from the storage compartment located at the bottom of the appliance.

3. Do not fill the fryer with oil or any other liquid.

4. Do not put anything on top of the appliance, as this will disrupt the airflow and the

hot air frying will be affected as a result.

Air Frying:

1. Connect the mains plug into an earthed wall socket.

2. Open the air fryer door.

3. Put the ingredients into the air fryer.

4. Close the air fryer door. The fryer will give off a beeping sound and all the indicators

will light up momentarily.

5. After a few seconds, all of the indicators will go off except for the indicator, which

will remain illuminated to indicate the appliance is turned on but in Standby mode.

Press this key at any time while the fryer is in this mode to bring up the touch control

panel.

Note: If no keys are pressed or selections made after the control panel is lit, the air fryer

will automatically go into standby mode after 90 seconds of inactivity.

6. Determine the required preparation time for your desired ingredients (refer to the

‘Settings’ section below). Use the keys to adjust the cooking time accordingly.

The time will increase or decrease in increments of 1 minute, from 0 up to 60 minutes

Note: Preparation times can be changed or adjusted even while the air fryer is in

operation.

7. Adjust to the required temperature. Refer to the ‘Settings’ section in this chapter to

learn how to determine the right temperature. Use the keys to adjust the

temperature accordingly. The temperature will increase or decrease in increments of

5 degrees, from 30 up to 200 degrees.

Note: The temperature can be adjusted or changed at any time, even while the air fryer is

in operation.

8. Once the correct time and temperature have been set, press the key. The

electric heating tube and fan will begin to work, the and indicators will

illuminate and the timer will begin counting down the remaining cooking time.

Note: Press the key again while the fryer is in operation to pause the cooking cycle. The

fan and electric tube will stop working and the corresponding indicators in the touch

control panel will go out to indicate operation has been paused. Press this key again while

the air fryer is in this state to resume cooking.

Note: If the door is opened during cooking, the screen and power light will go off, and the

heating tube and fan will stop working. When the door is closed again, the air fryer will

resume operation in its latest settings. The cooking time countdown will not be affected, as

the air fryer has a memory backup of up to 2 hours.

Note: During the frying process, food will get very hot and steam may escape from the air

fryer.

9. When the set preparation time has elapsed, the fryer will emit a series of beeps, the

screen will display ‘00’, and the screen and the indicator will begin to flash.

Note: You can also switch the appliance off manually by reducing the temperature to zero.

10. Check if the ingredients are ready. If the ingredients are not ready yet, simply place

your food back into the fryer, close the door, then set the timer to a few extra

minutes.

11. To remove ingredients (e.g. fries), open the air fryer door and pull out the food using

the insulated kitchen gloves or other suitable safety accessory such as tongs.

12. When a batch of ingredients is ready, the air fryer is instantly ready for preparing

another batch.

Auto-Cook Menus:

This air fryer is equipped with 8 auto-cook menus, pre-programmed with the ideal settings

to fit some of the most commonly air-fried meals. When one of these menus is selected,

the air fryer will automatically default to that program’s pre-set temperature and time, and

operate accordingly.

Each of these can be accessed by pressing the corresponding key in the unit’s control

panel. The corresponding indicator will light up to show each menu has been selected.

The full list of auto-cook menus is as follows:

Fries. When this mode

is selected, the screen

will display “200” -

“20”, for temperature

and cooking time

respectively.

Steak. When this

mode is selected, the

screen will

display “180” - “20”,

for temperature

and cooking time

respectively.

Chicken Legs. When

this mode is selected,

the screen will

display “180” - “35”,

for temperature

and cooking time

respectively.

Fish. When this mode

is selected, the screen

will display “180”-

”18”, for temperature

Turning the Light On and Off:

Press the key to turn the air fryer’s inner light On or Off at any time.

Note: During the cooking cycle, the fryer’s inner light will turn on or off automatically.

Settings:

The table on the next page will help you to select the basic settings for the ingredients.

Note: Keep in mind that these settings are indications, as ingredients differ in origin, size,

shape and brand, we cannot guarantee the best settings for your ingredients. Because the

Rapid Air technology instantly reheats the air inside the appliance instantly, opening the

door briefly during hot air frying barely disturbs the process.

Tips:

• The preparation time will depend on the size of your ingredients. Smaller sizes may

require a shorter cooking time.

• Add some oil to fresh potatoes for a crispy result. Fry your ingredients in the Hot-air

fryer within a few minutes after you added the oil.

• Be cautious of using extremely greasy ingredients such as sausages in the air fryer.

• Snacks that can be prepared in an oven can also be prepared in the air fryer.

• The optimal amount for preparing crispy fries is 700 grams.

• Use pre-made dough to prepare filled snacks quickly and easily. Pre-made dough also

requires a shorter preparation time than home-made dough.

• Place a baking tin or oven dish if you want to bake a cake or quiche, or if you want to

fry fragile ingredients or filled ingredients.

• You can also use the air fryer to reheat ingredients. To reheat ingredients, set the

temperature to 150°C for up to 10 minutes.

Using the accessories:

This air fryer comes complete with a range of accessories:

• Drip tray, to help collect fat and drippings for easy cleaning.

• Air flow racks, suitable for dehydrating, crisping or reheating food items.

• Roasting spit, for use with roast meat or fish.

• Handle, for safely retrieving the above accessories from the fryer after cooking.

Assembling the Roasting Spit:

1. To assemble the roasting spit, first slide the shaft through the corresponding slots on

either of the roasting forks, so that the forks are on the inside of the shaft.

2. Retrieve the two small keys provided with the unit and thread each of them through

its corresponding hole on the spit forks. Rotate each key clockwise to tighten it and

secure the forks to the main body of the shaft.

3. Once you have loosened each of the two keys, slot the spit shaft into the recessed

gear notch on the left-hand side of the oven cavity and the locating bracket on the

right-hand side, ensuring it is pushed in all the way. When it has been correctly fitted

to the gear and bracket,, insert the keys back into each of their respective slots and

turn them clockwise to tighten them and secure the shaft into place.

4. Your roasting spit is now ready for use.

Using the Roasting Spit:

To use the roasting spit, align the two nuts on either side of the spit shaft with the two

recessed notches on the inside of the fryer cavity, and push it as far back as it will go. Once

the spit has been pushed all the way back, slide the nut on the lefthand side of the wall

into the corresponding slot on the body of the fryer.

Note: Ensure the shaft nut is pushed all the way into the gear slot and that no part of it is

visible to the naked eye; otherwise the spit will not rotate.

• Once you have installed the spit, press the key in the unit’s control panel to activate

the rotation function. If the spit has been installed correctly, it will begin to rotate.

• If the spit does not begin to rotate once the button has been pressed, pull it out of the

air fryer and repeat the steps detailed above, taking care to ensure the shaft nut is

pushed all the way into the slot on the body of the fryer.

6 - Troubleshooting

Problem

Possible cause

Solution

The air fryer does not

work

The appliance is not plugged in.

Plug the appliance into an earthed wall

socket.

The timer is not set.

Amend the timer to the required

preparation time to switch on the

appliance.

The fried ingredients

are not done.

The amount of ingredients is too

big.

Put smaller batches of ingredients in

the air fryer. Smaller batches are fried

more evenly.

The set temperature is too low.

Set the temperature to the required

temperature setting. (Refer to the

‘Settings’ section under ‘Using the

appliance’ for a temperature reference

guide).

The preparation time is too short.

Set unit to the required preparation

time (refer to the ‘Settings’ section

under ‘Using the Appliance’ for a timer

reference guide).

Fried snacks are not

crispy when they come

out of the air fryer.

Wrong type of snacks used.

Use oven snacks or lightly brush some

oil onto the snacks for a crispier result.

The fryer contains grease from

previous use.

White smoke is caused by grease

heating up inside the fryer. Make sure

you clean the fryer properly after each

use.

Fresh fries are fried

unevenly in the air

fryer.

Wrong type of potatoes used.

Use fresh potatoes and make sure they

stay firm during frying.

The potato sticks were not rinsed

adequately before frying

Rinse the potato sticks properly to

remove starch from the outside.

Fresh fries are not

crispy when they come

out of the air fryer.

The crispiness of the fries

depends on the amount of oil

and water in the fries.

Make sure you dry the potato sticks

properly before you add the oil.

Cut the potato sticks smaller for a

crispier result.

Add slightly more oil for a crispier

result.
